The rebate is available for patients who are referred by a GP on a valid mental health care plan. This rebate is available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, and can be processed in the office to ensure fast returns. Due to stringent Medicare rules, we are unable to accept gap payments only, and require full fees paid and then process the claim back to you via Medicare.

At present Medicare do not allow rebates for couple sessions. If, however a patient is diagnosed by their GP with a mental health diagnosis and placed on a mental health careplan, rebates may be possible if couple sessions are deemed appropriate to restore the individual’s mental health concern. An initial consultation with the referred patient will be required to determine the suitability and validity of the requested sessions under the Medicare scheme to ensure compliance with their stringent rules. It should be noted that some Private Health Funds may provide rebates for couple therapy.
